Awkward! Watch Exes Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Hutcherson Get Asked About Their Relationship

Earlier this week, former (we repeat, former) couple and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island costars Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Hutcherson sat down with an Australian morning show while making their usual promotional rounds.

And while their line of questioning consisted of the usual boilerplate topics, there was one particular query that led to an awkward silence that all future awkward silences will forever be judged against.

But hey, that's what happens when you ask two exes how their relationship's going.

The awkward mark comes just over three minutes into the interview, when the Sydney anchor causally asked Vanessa and Josh, "How long have you two been going out?"

Cue a pause that lasts a lifetime and a confused exchange of looks.

"We're not," Hutcherson said, finally breaking the tension, as Hudgens shook her head. "We were at one point, but she broke my heart…no, I'm just kidding," he trailed off, to nervous laughter from Vanessa and the anchors.

So much for doing your research. In fact, Hudgens has spent the better part of the last few months on a PDA tour with her current beau Austin Butler.
